Technology Program
As part of Bergen Catholic High School's laptop program which began with the class of 2007, students buy a ThinkPad through the school as their own laptop for completing work that requires internet access and for taking notes. Uses of the computer include interactive whiteboards and Edline. The school custom-installs software on each student's computer, such as the screen monitoring program DyKnow and various test programs.
Edline is used to allow students to communicate with their teachers, and stay up to date with their homework assignments and standing in the class. Bergen Catholic has recently introduced Turnitin, which offers an extensive plagiarism prevention tool utilized by most of the faculty. DyKnow Monitoring is used to monitor students' screens and ensure that students are on task, as well as collect assignments via file transfer.

Famous quotes containing the words technology and/or program:
“If we had a reliable way to label our toys good and bad, it would be easy to regulate technology wisely. But we can rarely see far enough ahead to know which road leads to damnation. Whoever concerns himself with big technology, either to push it forward or to stop it, is gambling in human lives.”
—Freeman Dyson (b. 1923)
“Most of the folktales dealing with the Indians are lurid and romantic. The story of the Indian lovers who were refused permission to wed and committed suicide is common to many places. Local residents point out cliffs where Indian maidens leaped to their death until it would seem that the first duty of all Indian girls was to jump off cliffs.”
—For the State of Iowa, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
